It wasnt us this week!

I understand where you are coming from. Occasionally I see a toddler run up to the altar at church. Surprisingly it doesn't happen very often. And I can't even recall it ever happening with my children. Hmmm... I wonder why that is. I know one of the reasons we go to the Saturday 5pm mass is because there aren't a whole lot of children and crying babies. If they are there they are usually sleeping, even the 4 and 5 year olds. I just don't remember my own kids every running away at church. My husband probably had the young one planted firmly on his knee. He did that until she was, like, nine. I kept telling them both she was too old to be sitting on her father's lap. Now she sits on the altar almost every weekend as an altar server. Well, she got there eventually. LOL! I developed fibromyalgia right after my youngest was born. I spent years fighting for disability. Unbeknownst to me, there were private detectives following me. The stated that I was well enough to run after my child. I saw the video (yeah, they video taped me - it really makes your stomach turn). I was putting my children into the car when my one year old started running towards the road. Pain or no pain any mother is going to run after a child doing that. However, three long strides could hardly be considered "running". Geez. Ah, the good old days when my kids were young. Enjoy chasing after them while they are still within reach because it won't be long before your chasing after them through the phone lines. LOL!

LOL Those heavy doors were probably designed by a parent with young children. LOL The other day I was sitting in a local cafe, and a child got away from his mother, and ran out the front door. She was at the counter paying for her coffee, and I told her her kid had escaped, so she went after him. Good thing I was watching.
